In August I graduated from Bridgewater State University (BSU) with a BS in Business Administration and Management with a Concentration in Human Resources and in September I started a Master of Science in Accountancy program at my alma mater. I made a big shift from where I started my collegiate experience as a Physical Therapy major, but I am so pleased I followed my path and found my passion. I am also grateful to MVYouth for their generosity throughout my undergraduate experience and especially supporting my early graduation. Currently, I am working as a Graduate Assistant at BSU in the Academic Achievement Center (AAC) as an Academic Coach. As an academic coach I work with students to aid their academic success during their college experience. I support students with organizational skills, time management, test strategies and strategies to reduce test anxiety. I am also a student advocate and work closely with student athletes. It has been a rewarding experience and I feel I am giving back to my college community. I’m enjoying my graduate coursework and thrilled to begin an Audit Internship in June with my top pick accounting firm. People joke that accounting is boring (so I won’t bore you with the details), but I find solving the problems very rewarding. On a personal note, I got a puppy in February. He's a corgi named Turbo and he is the best addition to my life. When I’m not walking Turbo and the weather is conducive, you can find me on the golf course. Juggling graduate school, work and a dog is a challenge, but I am focused and working toward my goals. I wouldn’t want my life any other way.
